THE EXAMINER RxsNERATED.

Last Spring a.sixteen.year-old girl at
Vallejo, California, was assaulted by a
gang of hoodlums. The San Francisco
Examiner received letter purporting to
have been written by the girls father,
and containing the names of the guilty
ones and those of others said to have been
implicated in the outrage, among others
4hat of George Morton. The Examiner
yublishsd the letter, and soon afterwards
-ascertained that it was forgery. While
It appeared that Henry Morton was one
OF the hoodlums, it was shown that George
Morton was young man of good charac-
ter, and was in no way connected with
the gang that assaulted the girl. The
Examiner, rs soon as it discovered the
error published an article exonerasing
George Morton, and offered reward for
t5e discovery of the author of the forged
letter. Notwithstanding this reparation.
George Morton brought suit against the
paper for libel, placing the damages
which he had sustained at $40, coo. The
case was tried in Solano county last week,
and the jury on the first ballot found
a verdict for the Examiner, and Morton
has to pay the costs.
This verdict is in accord with justice
and common sense. A newspaper is la
BILE to be imposed upon at any time by
-unprincipled persons forging the names
OF respectable citizens to communications
which are published for the best. of mo-
tivss. 1t is not probable that the pub
Usher Of the Examiner knew George Nor
ton personally or by reputation. and
therefore could not have ,been actuated
by malice in mentioning him as one OF the
-hoodIums who assaulted the girl, and the
jury took that view of the matter and ex-
onerased him from all blame.

1t Has spread From The Argentine
Republic into Chilli.

PANAMA, Jan. 25.-Great excitement pre-.
walls throughout Chilli at the appearance of
cholera on its boundaries Strict quarantine
was enforced against vessels coming from
suspected ports, and the passes on the Ar
gentine frontier were closed, but the disease
it appears has su,mounted all barriers and
reached the Pacific slope. A correspondent
in Chill says;
Time and space would fail me were to
attempt to discourse upon the clouds Of de-
crees relating to the preservation of the pub

From the Argentine Republic the Geographic
news for some days past has been OF an en-
ceedingly alarming nature and in Mendozea
at the foot Of the Cordilleras and the other
side, and its neghborhood, no few than
forty deaths are reported in one day. The
Argentine government has all along en-
deavored to suppress a knowledge of the true
state of affairs, and the official kilograms
have differed widely from those sent TO the
CHILEAN press and to private individuals.
The brief and unsatisfactory CON-
ments also, which appear in the
Argentine press, bear abundant testimony
of official supervision. all of which things
have tendency to make us imagine here
that matters are worse than they usually are.
The stoppage of trains to Rosario, in the Ar
gentine Republic, was caused by the adoption
of land quarantine precautions recent and

brilliant equestrienne and as a brilliant
woman mentally. She used to ride through
the streets attended by ten or twelve
hounds.
Mrs. DE Cormio was called, and denied
that she ever attempted to iniure Mrs. EN-
mons. Mrs. Emmons was insane. and that
was the most charitable way to look at her
conduct. Miss Ellen Williams. of New
Jersey, testified to meeting Mrs. Emmons
in 1878 at boarding school in Bordentown,
n. j. She was in every respect a lady,
mild modest and kind, but little odd at
times. Witness last saw Mrs. EN-
mons in February last when she
came here at Mrs. Emmons' request.
There was great change in Mrs. Emmons'
mental condition. She was confused as to
dates and could not talk in a connected way.
Her room and person were unJidy, in strik-
ing contrast to her former neatness. In re-
ply to juror Mr. Emmons' counsel said his
clients annual income was 81, 600 from in
yestments and $40 from salary. The
case was then adjourned until Thursday
when argument will be made by counsel
prior to the case being given to the jury.

THE SEA COAST DEFENsEs

The prophetic words Of Nh. TILDEN.
that the time would some day come when
the United States would realize the fallacv
of not instituting a proper system of sea
coast defenses. though little needed at the
time, stands some possibility of being real
lied. 1t was asserted that there could
hardly be any combination of circumstances
likely to involve this country in difficulty
with any other nation, and that therefore
the expenditure of millions in placing the
sea coast in defensive condition would
be useless extravaganza. But as it is the
unexpected that always happens, the con-
tlngency so recently secuted bids fair to
arise in the immediate future unless the
United States moderate their demands,
which is not likely. or England assumes a
less arrogant attitude, which is more prob
able. AS it is, in the event of war there is
hardly large city ON either coast
which the navy of England could not bonn
bard and destroy with entire safety
to itself. The so-called American navy,
weak and inefficient, would be hardly
stumbling block in its way. Of course,
patriotism, backed by experience, teaches
that an American navy could be built and
the coast put into condition of defense in
time, and the enemy would probably be
eventually driven off. but in the meanwhile
the destruction of much valuable property
would inevitably ensue. 1t would be much
better to heed the old maxim, ''1n time of
peace prepare for war;" and with the con-
seriousness of thorough preparation we
could then make any just demands Oh Great
Britain or any other country with greater
confidence that they would be complied

THE RAILWAY COMMISSION.

A Washington dispatch says that in max
ing the appointment of railway commits
sioners under the recentlyp assed interstate
commerce bill the president will not ap-
point any one from the Southern states be-
cause the railroads in that section are prin-
cipally owned by Northern people. We
are inclined to think that the president is
misrepresented in this matter 1t is posi-
bic that he may not appoint Southern
man on the commission. but it will hardly
be for the reason stated in the dis
patch. The interstate commerce bill
was not passed especially for the benefit of
the railroad proprietors. 1t was supposed
to have been passed i'll the interest of the
shippers and producers to protect them
against the extortions and determinations
of the railway managers. 1t would be
tough lines for us up here in this section if
the West was to have no representation Oh
the commission because the capital invested
in Western railroads came from the East.
While the element of proprietorship may
properly enter into the matter of appoint
ments still it should not be the controlling
element. People outside OF railway circles
have some interest in the proper enforce
ment of the interstate commerce law, and
the president Is hardly oblivious to that
fact

BRACES FIGHT
For the HiehwoOd Military FOst
Near Chicago.


Near Chicago.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-One of the
amusing fights which Gen. Bragg is en-
countering as chairman of the house militery
committee is over what is known as the
Highwood tract in Chicago. Up at High
wood, twenty-five miles north of the city of
Chicago, the Commercial club has a fine
piece of land, which it is willing TO
give to the United States for military pur-
poses. 1t is beautiful piece of ground.
embracing 59S acres, lying right on the
lake front, and consists of rolling prairie
and hills covered with fine old oak trees.
There is mile and half of the lake front
age where the bluffs loom up seventy feet
high, which is quite an elevation in that
part Of the country. Transportation east
and west by the lake is perhaps as con-
venlent as anywhere in the country. and no
better place could be thought of for mill
tary post. The tract is beautifully cut up
with picturesque valleys. ab0unds in springs
OF pure water, and has excellent level pla-
teaus suitable for parade grounds, and is in
every way adapted to the purpose for which
1t is offered. There is all abundance of
gravel Tor line roadWayS, and clay good for
bricks can be found right Oh the tract, and
excellent sand is convenient. so that the
cost OF building and improving the property
would be very materially reduced. Although
this land is offered to the United States
free of cost, and the givers are
willing to guarantee the title there
has been a very decided opposition to
the acceptance of the gift for reasons
which seem TO be decidedly frivolous. The
gentlemen who propose the gift are such
men as Senator Farwell, Gen. McClurg,
John A. Doane and other prominent bust
ness men in Chicago. Senator Beck objects
to accepting the gift because he thinks that
these men want to secure for the city an
exceptionally good police power by the
presence of large military garrison.
which will overawe and keep under the
anarchists The real reason. however, it
is said, is that he is afraid that if such
superior advantages are afforded for
large military post at Chi
cago Newport barracks. KY, will
be abandoned. Mr.. McMllin, of Ten
nessee. who is not 50 partial to Newport
barracks. objected to the resolution for the
acceptance Of this property the other day.
simply because he says he wants to look
into the question of anarchism and have it
freely debated and see whether there is any
necessity for a tirSt-class military post at
Chicago. If he had not made the objection

A Mild shooting Affair.

Speclal TO the GLOBE.
WINONA, Jan 25.-A shooting affair, which
terminated without any very serious re-
suits, occurred last evening at the house of
Tim Dustin, who resides on Olmsted street
between Third and Fourth. Dustin, in com
pany with a man named Hub Walker who
has been boarding with him. were down
town!until a late hour drinking at theidiferent
saloons. and Quarreled over some matter
Dustin preceded Walker home, and told his
wife that Walker should not come into his
house again. Mrs. Dustin, who seems to
have entertained very friendly feeling
towards Walker, declared he should come
back and went out to meet him. As the
two approached the house Dustin appeared
at the door, and warned Walker not to come
in, and putting his revolver fired, the bullet
grazing Walkers breast. but not INJECTING
any serious injuries. Mrs. Dustin started
down the street with Walker at once to pro-
cure doctor, but they were met by Officer
WEIGH. and taken to the lookup. Officer
Daniels arrested Dustin soon afterwards
The case had partial hearing before Judge
Allen this afternoon, and the parties were
locked up In the county Jail to await further
examination tomorrow.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

INTERN ATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Though the war feeling pervades the
air throughout all Europe. the consent of
England to enter the conference upon the
Balkans difficulties will probably do much
to avert conflict at least over that partic-
ular question. Every one seems to ex-
pect the outbreak of war on the CONT
nent i'll the near future, and there
seems to be good ground upon
which to base the expectation, but
there is really no reason why an outbreak
should not be averted. The questions at
issue are not i'll themselves of such difficult
solution as to render an appeal to arms
necessary. If there was really the desire
on the part of the rulers to settle the diff
culties on the basis Of justice there ought to
be no greater obstacle in the way than
there is in coming to an equitable decision
in ordinary courts Of law concerning the
disagreements of individuals. An interna-
tonal tribunal so formed as to insure the
strictest impartiality is not incapable of
being organized. Such court could pass
upon the points of difference with perfect
equity, and its award. if not satisfactory
to the country decided against, wonld
surely be as acceptable as though the
same result had been brought
about by the expenditure of
millions of money and the sacrifice
of thousands of lives. So long, however,
as the immense standing armies are main
tanned such court as permanent institu-
ton is only Utopian dream. But with
the disarlning OF the troops which now
burden the taxpayers of every European
country and with the agreement of all
nations to uphold the decision of an interna-
tional tribunal of arbitration, it would be
both possible and practical. When the
machinery of war becomes so perfect as to
render the humiliation of armies mere
matter of mechanical and engineering skill.
then the organization of such court Will
be forced upon the world. The march OF
inventive genius in appliance of war leads
to the belief that such result will be
brought about in the near future

1t was dazzling sight at the White house
